Internationaal Poëzie Project

TRANSLATIONPROJECT

"Meeting" is an important subject in my writing. This theme is an inspiration for me because of my own experiences and by reading philosophers Martin Buber and Emanuel Levinas.
When people really meet, something happens that you cannot put into words. The other person moves me. Sometimes I am the other one. By meeting someone, your life can change... Or you can get inspired... That's how the poem 'meeting' is born. 'Meeting' should go on. That explains my wish to get this poem translated in as many languages as possible. That's why I call up everyone who reads this to contribute to this project by translating the poem 'Meeting' in his own language. I hope that readers, translators and subscriber will meet world-wide by this project.
It seems interesting to me to receive different reactions about the meaning of this poem that might be deeper than one should expect in the first instance. At the end of this translating project I will give my vision on the poem mentioned on my internetsite.
